Sky was dead on her feet.  If felt like they had walked for miles. When she was just about at her end, Sky saw the light up head.  Walking up to the edge of an overgrown parking lot, Sky took in her surroundings. The place was a dump, but it looked like it was empty.  No cars were parked outside, and the only lights on were the one lighting up the parking lot.  Thankfully Bas proved to be pretty resourceful and jimmied one of the locks, letting them into a musty room. 

"Sorry babe, but this is just going to have to do,” Bas apologized. “Wait here while I check the place out, okay?”

There wasn’t much to check out, and Sky was kind of reluctant to touch anything. She figured no one would find them there, since technically they weren't there. At least she hoped no one would find them.  She was so tired and overwhelmed with everything that had happened in the last day or so that she could no longer hold off the inevitable meltdown that she had been so desperately holding at bay.  Bas gave her just enough time to work herself up into a proper panic. How had those guys found them at the gas station? Bas had told her they lost their tails on the highway, but they were still there, how?  And what about the other people, the Shifters? How had they tracked her down, and what had Shelby had to do with any of it?  Somehow Bas had made it into her space without her even realizing it.

"What’s wrong, babe?"  Placing his hands on her shoulder, he said, "Damn Sky, you are tighter than a piano string."  Sky had been standing just inside the door. " If this place freaks you out so much, we could try another room or move on, but I think you need to get some sleep before we do.  You were almost falling asleep when we were walking." 

He began to rub her shoulders, and it felt magnificent.  Shutting her eyes, Sky sunk into the moment. She couldn’t help the moan that passed through her lips. His hands felt so good on her body.  Bas slid one of his hands up her neck and weaved his fingers under her hair, further dislodging the ponytail that she had placed there earlier.    The grip he had in her hair allowed him to angle her head for the kiss he placed on her lips. 

The kiss was gentle, teasing at first.  Bas sipped at her lips, running the tip of his tongue first across her bottom lip and then to the top.  Sky whimpered and tried to move closer, encouraging him to kiss her deeper.  But Bas wasn’t having any of it, and she wanted this moment more. Then she wanted to fight him.  Bas increased his grip in her hair, and Sky surrendered to his sensual assault.

His other hand moved from her shoulder down her arm, ultimately make its way to her lower back, pressing her closer to his manly heat.  This time she wasn’t really sure what the noise was she was making. Maybe it was a plea that she needed him so badly.  Bas broke the kiss.

"Damn babe, you are beautiful.  I love the way your lips are swollen because of my kiss." 

Sky looked into his glowing, beautiful eyes and said the only thing she could at the moment,"Bas, don’t do this unless you mean it.  I will never be the type of person that goes with the flow or has one night stand, no matter how much I want them.  You mean something to me, and if we go any further with what is happening between us, your chance to run away will be gone because it will break me.  I can feel it. Please, Sebastian, don’t break me."

Bas was done fighting himself and his bear.  The bruin hadn’t hurt her in the forest, only wanted to protect her.  They had the mating marks, only different.  Sky had crawled under his skin and made a home.  He was done second guessing himself and was going to take what was meant for him.  If she turned out to be human, so be it. Bas would commit himself to her for all the days he had left in this world and never regret a second of it.

He kissed her as deeply as possible, expressing his thoughts and feelings without words.  Legends and fairy tales be damned, she was his.  Bas moved his hands back to her shoulder, but this time he removed her hoodie, leaving her only in a t-shirt and jeans.  Bas turned her in his arms, pressing his front to her back.  He moved his hands down her arms until he reached her hands, lifting them and placing them around his neck.  He then traced the underside of her arms all the way down. 

The tingles that followed his path made her knees weak.  He continued his slow exploration until he reached the hem of Sky’s T-shirt. He lifted it until the unwanted garment had been efficiently removed from her body, leaving her upper half naked and vulnerable. 

Placing her hands back behind his neck, this time he ordered, “Babe, don’t move your hands, no matter what I do to you.  Do you understand?" 

Sky managed a breathy, “Yes," in response before his hands stroked little circles around her belly button.  Sky thought she was going to crazy. She had never been this turned on in her life. This wasn’t a quick grope.  Bas was making love to her body with his hands.

She felt him brush the underside of her breast, still not quite where she needed it, but he was making her feel exquisite.  "Babe, I want you so bad. Do you want me?"  Bas questioned.

Damn, couldn’t he tell? Her nipples were diamond hard, begging for his attention. Sky was pretty sure her panties weren’t the only thing that was wet at this point.  She didn’t answer him verbally, but she did push her bottom into the rock-hard evidence of how she was affecting him.  When he didn’t move or respond, she whimpered a "Please?" 

Bas responded by tracing first her areola, then, with a feather light touch, he caressed her nipple. Her body had a mind of its own. When she pushed back against him this time, he corrected her with a hard pinch to hear straining nipple.  It hurt, but it also felt magnificent.

"No babe, we are doing this my way,” Bas insisted. “We have all night, and I plan on taking this really slow.  I want to taste and touch every inch of your beautiful body." 

Moaning again from his actions and words, Sky leaned her head back onto his broad shoulder, opening her neck to his kisses. 

"That’s it, babe, just feel."

After what seemed like hours of his sensual assault of her breast, he moved his hands down her stomach once more. Only this time his destination was the snap of her pants, popping it open with very little effort.  The sound of her zipper lowering filled the quiet room.  Sky was kind of shocked that he didn’t place his hand in the opening and delve deeper, but rather moved them around with waist until he could push them and her panties off her body. 

Bas moved back, making Sky lose her grip from around his neck.  She was afraid he would stop again, but to her immense relief, he only lowered himself to the floor behind her.  Placing kisses and tiny nips along the way, he stopped at her bottom.  The small nips turned into a hearty bite, forcing another moan from her body.

Continuing down, he pushed her jeans further down her shaking legs. Sky was so overwhelmed that she almost missed his commanded to lift first. One then the other foot, so he could completely remove her only remaining clothing.  He was driving her crazy with his hands, teeth, and tongue. Sky didn’t know how long she would be able to stay upright.  Turning her once more, Bas placed her hands back on his shoulder. He didn’t need to tell her to keep them there this time. Sky was so overtaken with arousal, she didn’t know what she was doing.

Bas cupped her breast in his hand and brought it to his mouth.  His lips captured her nipple, and Sky screamed. She was so close to orgasm, she just needed a little bit more.  Running his unoccupied hand down her leg, Bas lifted it at the knee and placed it on his shoulder, opening her most feminine parts for his perusal and assault.  She knew she was wet but was almost embarrassed by how wet she actually was. When he opened her up, the cooler air hitting her hot core only emphasized that fact.

"Babe, I have wanted to get a taste of you since the moment I laid eyes on you. That kiss back at RBMC just didn't fill my need.  I have never smelled anything so sweet. I would bet my last dollar that you taste just as sweet." 

His words created another gush of moisture to leak from her, and it was Bas’ turn to moan.  Sky was in the most vulnerable position of her life; naked and exposed. And yet she had never felt so cherished and special.  Using his fingers, Bas opened her swollen folds. Further lowering his head, he drew a path with his tongue right to her distended clit, lightly teasing it and then moving down to place it in her weeping core.  Using his thumbs, Bas spread her lips, further exposing her clit. He then licked and sucked on her swollen clit like it was the most delicious piece of candy he had ever tasted.  Sky could feel the pressure building. She was so close to the most amazing orgasm in her life, but something held her back. 

Bas looked up at her from his position on the floor and said three simple words, "Cum for me." He then pressed his thumb into her sheath, sucking hard at her clit at the same time.  Sky’s back arched and her legs shook violently.  Lava ran through her body, and she screamed as the most incredible orgasm pulsed through her body.

Panting and gasping for air, Sky lost control of her legs. If Bas hadn’t been holding her, she would have fallen to the floor.  She knew somewhere in her subconscious she should please him as well, but she was still lost in the grips of her personal euphoria.  Bas had her cradled in his lap, soothing her as she came down from her high. Sky didn't want to move.   

Bas carried her over to the bed; a mattress covered with a blanket that Sky hadn’t noticed before.  She attempted to protest, wanting to do something for this amazing man, but he said, "No, babe, let me take care of you."  Sky vaguely remembered Bas wiping the evidence of her orgasm away before she drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
